Japan-Studies.com should normally be displayed in the correct encoding, but if you altered certain settings Internet Explorer may have selected the wrong one.

From Internet Explorer's menu click "View" > "Encoding" > "Auto-Select". It will now use the character set defined by the website. Japan-Studies.com uses the "Unicode (UTF-8)" encoding.

Some websites do not have a character set defined, in these cases Internet Explorer will use its own language as default. If Japanese text looks screwy on other websites you can try the following encodings:

View > Encoding > More > Japanese (Auto-Select)
View > Encoding > More > Japanese (Shift_JIS)
View > Encoding > More > Japanese (EUC-JP)
View > Encoding > More > Japanese (ISO-2022-JP)
View > Encoding > More > Unicode (UTF-8)
